Pet Peeves

there's a guy in winnipeg who hasn't worn pants since 2001. During the CFL western division finals of that year, Winnipeg Blue Bombers were heavily favoured to win the Grey Cup, and we were handily winning this game as well. The guy made a friendly bet with his friends he was watching the game with that he wouldn't wear pants again until the Bombers won the cup (he was wearing shorts that day, and it was November). Then, near the end of the game, our quarterback's arm got broken. Championship game the following week, we have a new QB that has never played an actual CFL game. We lost the grey cup game and still haven't won it. The last time we won it was 1990. (BEFORE TEN CAME OUT).  In an 8-10 team league (depending on the year), we haven't won it in nearly 30 years. 

and you all know what winnipeg winters are like. 

hopefully we win the cup this sunday so the guy can wear some pants. 

It’s snowed today. I hate shoveling the sidewalk. Especially since we moved to a corner house and now have about 3 times the sidewalk as most. And if I don’t shovel almost as it drops it will usually freeze and becomes almost impossible. But then I risk a ticket or lawsuit. 

Co-workers that say the word fuuuutherrr (further) and not another damn word in the southern dialect.

Why do they keep ruining films by casting Ryan Reynolds? If I wanted to see an average looking bloke I'd just leave the house!

For shame... Reynolds is awesome!

My guess is that perhaps you aren't looking at him in the same way as WCD might be.

I hate when posters are too lazy to personalize their icon/avatar (?) and it’s the same default one as mine. So when I scroll through a thread I think I’ve made all these comments when I see my generic picture.

Guilty

(and the same thing happens to me too)

Maybe I’ll change mine one of these days.

People who aren't "morning people"...
The position of the hands on a clock do not ever entitle you to act like a grumpy asshole, get your shit together!
On a related note...
People who "can't function without caffeine" and are "always tired" suck it up buttercup, and maybe if you didn't drive coffee all day you might get some decent sleep?  Go figure.

gambo! It’s good to see you. I hope you and your family are all healthy.

Ha.  My pop was the only other adult I have lived with/around for any length of time who was like I am in the AM.

Sure, I don't love to get out of bed at 4:00AM on those days....but I fucking love to get up and get going early. 

Drives those I live(d) with pretty nutty.  Once up my motor is on full and ready to go. 

My wife is 100% the type of person who does/says all of the stuff you comment on. 

Totally over it being a pet peeve since most people seem to be similar to this.

Not sure if I put this in here or not before but a big pet peeve is people trying to speak Latin.

Fuck your "per se".  Cannot stand that.

Wife denied your morning sausage?
